DecisionView's Linda Drumright to Chair Panel on Patient Enrollment at the 46th DIA Annual Meeting on June 15, 2010

SAN FRANCISCO, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionView Inc., a leading provider of software solutions to optimize clinical trial enrollment for life sciences companies, is pleased to announce that DecisionView President and COO Linda Drumright will moderate an expert panel discussion on Patient Enrollment at the 46th DIA Annual Meeting (June 13-17, 2010 in Washington, D.C.). Ms. Drumright will be joined by industry experts from Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline, who will share their first-hand experiences in driving the evolution of patient enrollment processes within their organizations.

Patient Enrollment is at the heart of all clinical trials. Yet in many organizations, the systems and tools available for planning and tracking trials are immature, require manual inputs, and lack the features and flexibility clinical planners and trial managers need. The result: 72% of studies are delayed by more than a month, at an average cost of $37,000 per day.

Industry experts from Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline and DecisionView will share their first-hand experiences in evolving patient enrollment processes to foster collaboration and data-driven decision-making through an enrollment "planning culture." During the session, panelists will address some of the most challenging enrollment performance issues faced by the industry today, including:

• Standardizing the enrollment planning process
• Visibility of enrollment performance across the portfolio
• Planning's impact on downstream trial execution
• Reducing enrollment forecast variability and risks
• Use of historical enrollment data in planning
• Global collaboration

In addition, the session will include expert presentations by each of the panelists, including:

• "Driving Standardization in the Planning Processes Across an Organization," by Brian Dudt, Director, Performance Analytics and Benchmarking, Pfizer
• "IT's Role in Supporting Collaboration and Transparency within the Business," by Munther Baara, Sr. Director, Data Management & Reporting Development, Business Technology, Pfizer
• "From Instinct to Insight: Delivering Predictable Performance," by Alex Lancksweert, Business Lead for Simplifying the Clinical Information Environment (SCIE), GlaxoSmithKline
